Download or read book The Apologetics of Joy written by Joe Puckett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all the arguments for the existence of God there may be none more personal and intimate than C. S. Lewis's Argument from Desire. This book attempts to explain what the Argument from Desire is and why we believe that the argument is an inductively strong one. In the spirit of C. S. Lewis, Augustine, and Pascal, this book invites both the head and the heart of the reader to consider the case for God's existence. While many arguments look out to the external world for evidence of God's existence, this book calls the reader to look inward to the human heart. While learning from classical thinkers (particularly C. S. Lewis) the Argument from Desire will bring both intuition and experience together to demonstrate the truth of divine presence in the world. The reader will walk away with either a newfound faith or a reinforced conviction that has a strong intellectual and experiential dimension.

Download or read book C. S. Lewis: Defender of the Faith written by Richard B. Cunningham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis was a man of many talents: a literary critic, a Medieval and Renaissance scholar, a stimulating lecturer, a prolific writer, a perceptive critic of Western civilization, and the author of highly acclaimed children's books. But he is perhaps best known as the unorthodox defender of orthodoxy, the most popular and influential Christian apologist of his time. His literary skill, his brilliant and wide-ranging mind, and his multi-layered imagination made him a master of communication and gave him insight into what should be communicated. This study of his work inquires what it is about his faith, his view of the world, and his apologetic methods that strikes such a responsive chord in the hearts of unchurched people; and it shows how he made the old ideas of traditional Christianity glimmer and glow with simplicity and attractiveness. Lewis took up his apologetic pen because he felt that most theologians are talking jargon. Any fool can write learned language, he said. The vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it. His books are unusual because he believed that reason is the organ of truth; imagination is the organ of meaning. In the infernal correspondence of Screwtape, the haunting myths of his trilogy of space fiction, and the allegories of the Narnia books, he tries to bring the reader suddenly face to face with transcendental values and existential questions. Richard Cunningham evaluates the different kinds of literature Lewis uses as apologetic instruments, studies the devices and techniques of debate he employs to communicate his faith to unbelievers, and deduces some pertinent principles to help others define and understand the Christian faith.

Download or read book Mere Christianity written by C.S. Lewis and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis is a seminal work that explores the foundations of Christian faith and morality with intellectual rigor and clarity. Originally delivered as a series of radio talks during World War II, the book seeks to present a common ground of beliefs that unite Christians across various denominations. Divided into four parts, Lewis begins by making a case for the existence of a moral law, a universal standard that points towards a higher power. He then delves into the nature of God, the concept of Christian behavior, and the transformative power of faith. Lewis employs logical reasoning, insightful anecdotes, and a conversational style that makes complex theological ideas accessible to a broad audience. "Mere Christianity" has had a profound impact on Christian apologetics and philosophy, becoming a classic in the genre. Lewis's exploration of morality, virtue, and the essence of Christianity transcends its wartime origins, remaining relevant and influential in the ongoing discourse about the Christian faith. This enduring work continues to engage readers with its timeless insights into the nature of belief and the foundations of Christian thought.

Download or read book C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity written by George M. Marsden and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and times of C. S. Lewis's modern spiritual classic Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis's eloquent defense of the Christian faith, originated as a series of BBC radio talks broadcast during the dark days of World War Two. Here is the story of the extraordinary life and afterlife of this influential and inspiring book. George Marsden describes how Lewis gradually went from being an atheist to a committed Anglican—famously converting to Christianity in 1931 after conversing into the night with his friends J. R. R. Tolkien and Hugh Dyson—and how his plainspoken case for Christianity went on to become one of the most beloved spiritual books of all time.

Download or read book C. S. Lewis and the Christian Worldview written by Michael L. Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis is one of the most influential and beloved Christian writers of the past century, and interest in him continues to grow as books about his fantasy, fiction, and biography continue to appear. Although Lewis's personal journey was a deeply philosophical search for the most adequate worldview, the few extant books about his Christian philosophy focus on specific topics rather than his overall worldview. In this book, Michael Peterson develops a comprehensive framework for understanding Lewis's Christian worldview--from his arguments from reason, morality, and desire to his ideas about Incarnation, Trinity, and Atonement. All worldviews address fundamental questions about reality, knowledge, human nature, meaning, and so forth. Peterson therefore examines Lewis's Christian approach to these same questions in interaction with other worldviews. Accenting that the intellectual strength and existential relevance of Lewis's works rest on his philosophical acumen as well as his Christian orthodoxy--which he famously called "mere Christianity"--Peterson skillfully shows how Lewis's Christian thought engages a variety of important problems raised by believers and nonbelievers alike: the problem of evil and suffering, the problem of religious diversity, the problem of meaning, and others. Just as Lewis was gifted in communicating philosophical ideas and arguments in an accessible style, Peterson has crafted a major contribution to Lewis scholarship presented in a way that will interest scholars and benefit the general reader.
